This farthest galaxy cluster observed from Earth is discovered by astronomers from the U.S., Europe and Chile.
Almost 10 billion light-years from Earth, cluster XMM-XCS 2215-1734 contains hundreds of galaxies surrounded by hot X-ray-emitting gas. The existence of the cluster so early in the history of the universe challenges ideas about how galaxies formed, said lead author Adam Stanford, a research scientist at UC Davis and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
A student at Carnegie Mellon University determined the mass of this galaxy is 500 trillion times the mass of the Sun by using the temperature of the emitting gas. Most of the mass is “dark matter,” a mysterious, invisible form of matter that dominates the mass of all galaxies in the universe.
The European X-ray Multi Mirror (XMM) Newton satellite is used by the XMM Cluster Survey (XCS) team to discover the cluster and then determined its distance from Earth using the 10-meter W.M. Keck telescope in Hawaii. The team is working on a long-term observing program to find hundreds more such clusters using telescopes around the world.
i don’t believe it one bit.

he means , if you look out of a keyhole of a room you still only see the other room , not the house ,the street, the planet,the solar system…and on and on and on..
The universe is endless. Spending money on telescopes are not a good way to discover.
We need to build spacers properly equipped. But to traverse the immense space and galaxies you need to be able to jump huge distances.
With current tech is impossible.(even with the advanced fringe tech is improbable.)
But there are techs that other races use in this galaxy , but are not shared with our species for obvious reasons..lol
Humanity need to grow up in many ways yet…lol
So like I’ve said.. He really means that he’s mind is too small to comprehend the facts of reality..
Most humans are like it. lol
